South Carolina Honors vs Rice for Econ and Math

He’s not sure what he wants to do at this point but he knows grad school is in his future. We told him he could choose and we’d pay (we’d feel it for sure but we can do it), but we can’t help with grad school if he chooses Rice.

What kind of grad school?

• Math PhD study: should be fully funded. Undergraduate math department quality and rigor as seen by PhD program departments is often important.
• Economics PhD study: should be fully funded. Upper level math and statistics course work is important. Economics courses with higher math intensity are desirable.
• Other? Professional degree (MBA, MFE, etc.) study can be very expensive.
